DISPLAY-STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 721,245, dated February 24, 1903.

Application filed October 15, 1902.

To all whom, it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, FRANK SIMON, acitizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display-Stands and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in display-stands for displaying dress-goods and similar articles.

One of its objects is to provide a stand having a variety of adjustments, positions, and forms, whereby it is adapted to display to the best advantage a large variety of articles.

Another objectis to provide a set of extended arms or wings adapted to display to advantage goods in the piece.

Another object is to provide such arms which are extensible and so hinged as to be folded into small space. 7

Another object is to provide an attachmen whereby the curved front or skirt effect is given to the goods.

Another object is to provide an improved attachment giving a table-top effect for displaying table-covers and similar articles.

It also consists in certain details of form, combination, and arrangement, all of which will be more fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my stand with the wings attached. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the upper portion of the same adapted to display goods of a different character. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view of the wings detached. Fig. 4. is a side elevation showing the manner of attaching the sections to form the table-top. Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the same.- Fig. 6 is a front elevation showing the manner of draping the wings. Fig. 7 shows a modified arrangement of the top.

A represents the base; B, a standard hinged thereto and supported in an upright or inclined position by means of the bolt B and clamping-nut b, which clamps the standard 0 represents an extension of the standard Serial No. 127,345. (No model.)

supported in ways a on the standard B and adapted to be clamped to the adjusted position by means of the thumb-nut c and bolt a, passing through the slot 61. The upper end of the extension 0 carries a cross-bar D,which is provided with a hole d and dovetailed tongues E upon the front and back edges. This cross-bar serves as a support for the several attachments, which give the stand the desired form to correspond with the character of goods to be displayed. For dress-goods and goods in the piece I provide the arms or wings G, which are either hinged or rigidly secured to the cross-bar g, which carries a dowel-pin g to enter the hole d. The wings are composed of the sections H and h, the sections 71 being preferably slotted and held to the sections H', each by two screws h, so that they may be adjusted relative to the sections H to lengthen or shorten the arms, as required, for wide or narrow goods. The wings are preferably hinged to the cross-bar g, as shown in Fig. 3, so that when not in use they can be folded into the position shown in dotted line. Fig. 6 shows themanner of draping the goods over the extended arms to give the best effect, the goods being passed over the cross-bar, with its edges resting in the notches 7, and then being looped over the wings, as indicated in Fig. 6.

. I represents a light curved arm attached by .shanks vi and staples 2" to the extension 0 and which may be used with the wings or alone and serves to give a curved or skirt efiect to the goods.

When it is desired to display'table-cloths or similar articles, the wings are removed and pieces J are attached on opposite sides to the cross -.bar D by 'means of the dovetailed tongues E, which enter corresponding grooves j in the pieces J, thereby providing a small table-top, as shown in Fig. 2. Abutton j on the under side of the bar D assists in supporting the pieces J.

K represents an attachment having three arms is at right angles to each other and supported by a short shank is, entering the hole (1. This attachment may be employed in connection with the pieces J or independently for displaying toweling or other goods.

The cross-bar D is pivotally attached to the upper end of the extension 0 by means of the angle-plates 2, the bolt 3, and clamping-nut 4, whereby the parts mounted on the bar D may be adjusted to any desired angle relative to the extension 0 and clamped in position.

Having described my invention, what I claim is-- 1. In adisplay-stand, a base having an upwardly-projecting ear; an extensible standard pivoted to said ear means for clamping said ear and standard together to lock the base and standard to any adjusted position; a headpiece provided with a dowmvardly-projecting ear to which the upper end of the standard is pivoted; and means for clamping said standard and the ear of the head-piece together to lock the head-piece to any adjusted position relative to the standard.

2. In a display-stand, a base; an extensible standard pivotally connected thereto, and adapted to be clamped at different angles relative to the base; a head connected to the upper endof said standard, and a pair of wings projecting above said head-piece.

3. In a display-stand, a base; an extensible standard pivotal] y connected thereto and adapted to be clamped at different angles relative to the base, a head connected to the up perend of said standard; a cross-bar mounted on said head-piece, and a pair of wings carried thereby and projecting above the headpiece.

4. In a display-stand, abase; a standard projecting upward therefrom, a cross bar mounted at the upper end of said standard, and a pair of wings carried by and projecting above said cross-bar.

5. 111 a display-stand, a base; an extensible standard pivotally attached to the base and adapted to be clamped at different angles relative thereto; a cross-bar mounted at the upper end of said standard; and wings hinged to the ends of said cross-bar, and adapted to project above said cross-bar, and to be folded into compact form when not in use.

6. In a display-stand, a base; an extensible standard pivotally attached to the base and adapted to be clamped at difierent angles relative thereto; a cross-bar mounted at the upper end of said standard; and extensible wings carried by and projecting above said crossbar.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

FRANK SIMON.
